Blue skies, Kerch!

Friends, I regret to inform you that around 12:10am this morning (California time), our beloved friend and air race crew chief Bill Kerchenfaut made his final flight after suffering a stroke on Tuesday.

I will update everyone if I have any more information regarding any future memorials,etc. At this time, please keep him, his family, and his friends in prayer and remember the smiling little guy with a screwdriver in his pocket who did so much for others and air racing!

I'm betting that some Angels already have ADI.....................

Godspeed Bill (And I'm thinking that is a lot faster now)

I have to share this moment with Bill from Tuesday when he was first admitted to the hospital. He was ornery as ever and trying to rip the IV out of his arm. I looked at him, tapped the IV location and said something to the effect of: "Bill, that's your ADI. You need that to keep your systems happy. Remember, the systems are important. You've always said that". Then, when he was trying to rip a sensor off of his finger (he succeeded once) I said "Bill, that's your telemetry sensor. Telemetry is Green. Leave it alone". He looked at me, smirked and threw his head back.
